FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO A SHOT AT THE GOLD, JACKSON AND VELADO TAKE MMA CAREERS TO A NEW LEVEL AT NEF 25

Skryf 'n opmerking

 

Deur: Kalle Oakes

Humility is the undertone for any conversation with Jimmy Jackson about his mixed martial arts career. It was a humbling experience that twisted Rafael Velado’s arm into the world of combat sports in the first place.

One of the men will depart Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston wielding a source of pride – the New England Fights amateur lightweight championship belt – after their clash at “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” this Saterdag, September 10.

Mention the idea of his earning a title shot in the hexagon and Jackson (3-2) almost can’t withhold a laugh.

“It’s a big opportunity for someone like me,” Jackson said. “I never thought I would be fighting for a title. I’ve had a ton of teammates come up to me and say, ‘You deserve this! Way to go!’ I just never thought of myself as that top-tier fighter. I’ve always been the guy kind of behind the scenes.”

Easy enough for the Bangor fighter to blend in, considering that he trains at Young’s MMA with the likes of Aaron “Relentless” Lacey, “The” Ryan Sanders, and Josh “Hook On” Harvey.

Fighting for the belt vacated by stablemate Harvey isn’t an endeavor that would have entered Jackson’s mind back in 2012, when he accepted a fight in Vermont on a relative lark. He won via submission, with a choke, in 96 sekondes.

“My training started out as me and a few other guys messing around in a basement,” Jackson said. “My first fight was spur of the moment. I won and it sort of got the adrenaline going, soos, ‘I can do this. I did pretty good.’”

Through a co-worker, he connected up with Young’s MMA.

After a learning curve that included back-to-back losses in 2013, Jackson steadily improved and defeated two consecutive opponents to earn his title opportunity.

“It’s a blessing and a curse. It’s truly a family. These are guys who truly stand by each other, in hard times, bad times, in and out of the gym,” Jackson said of wearing Young’s colors. “But on the flip side, everybody’s watching you, expecting a certain amount of entertainment from you. I want to perform at such a level that people are excited to watch me fight.”

While most fighters go through the drudgery of training in order to bask in the glory of fight night, Jackson contends that it’s the training he loves most. And entering the cage, he claims, is not about him.

“Fighting, aan my, is just what I can do to show everybody what my coaches have accomplished,” Jackson said. “They sacrifice so much to give us fighters the recognition and they get very little recognition in return. The only reason I get in the cage is to represent them.”

Jackson gravitated to MMA with minimal experience in combat sports. Velado, of Norridgewock, brought a decade of jiu-jitsu and a black belt to the table.

That journey had less glamorous beginnings, egter.

“In July 2005, I was playing basketball and a guy on my own team, if you can believe it, punched me in the face. He took exception to something and he messed me up pretty good,” Velado said. “From watching UFC, I thought I knew what to do to defend myself, and I pulled him down with an arm bar. Pathetically, but I pulled him down.”

Velado called it a reality check, one that led him to enroll in jiu-jitsu classes taught by Aaron Blake in Boothbay Harbor.

“I think all guys think they will be able to defend themselves in a situation, and most of those guys are wrong,” Velado said.

In more than three years of tournament competition, Velado said he fought more than 50 times and lost only three matches.

He grew restless and sought a new challenge. It led him to John Raio’s First Class MMA in Topsham. Velado was primed for his debut, but a sparring session with heavyweight teammate Nick Gulliver led to a torn MCL in his knee.

“That took about six to eight months before I fully recovered,” Velado said. “I dropped in on John again in April 2015, and we got a plan together. He got me in there with a lot of good wrestler types, including himself. He let me train with Marcus Davis and some other guys to expand my skill set.”

Velado has won three times in NEF, capped by a split decision over Mike Peitersen of Young’s.

“You’re in for a war. Young’s guys, they’re great. They’re all respectful. They train like savages,” Velado said. “Look who he’s training against…Those guys could fight anywhere in the United States and do well. You can’t not get better training against guys like that. You can’t not be a stud.”

Jackson, who said that MMA has lowered his stress level while reminding him that there is nothing else in life he can’t handle, hinted that he is the underdog on paper.

“He went three rounds with Mike Pietersen, and Mike is a tough dude. I know he’s a black belt in jits,” Jackson said. “I’m taking a realistic approach. I’m more focused on what I need to do and can’t worry about what he’s going to do. I don’t think he’s going to show me anything that I can’t handle.”

The question, Velado said, is whether or not Jackson’s modesty suggests any level of uncertainty.

“The difference between us is that I know I have jiu-jitsu in my tool box. He doesn’t have anything like that in his tool box that I know of,” Velado said. “He’s going to see what level he’s at in this fight. He’s going to find a way to get past me, or he’s going to take a step back and say is this something I really want to be doing? He definitely has to have confidence if he wants to beat me.”

The opening bell on this Saterdag, September 10 is vir 7 namiddag. The current docket for “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” includes three professional boxing matches, five pro mixed martial arts bouts and five amateur MMA scraps. Kaartjies begin by $25 en is beskikbaar by www.TheColisee.com of deur die Colisee loket by 207.783.2009, uitbreiding 525.

YOUNG’S & FIRST CLASS MEET IN SECOND TITLE FIGHT AT NEF 25

Skryf 'n opmerking

Lewiston, Maine (Junie 28, 2016) – Less than 24-hours after the announcement of the amateur light-heavyweight title fight between Young’s MMA’s Victor Irwin (2-0) and First Class MMA’s Nick Shea (2-0), fight promotion New England Fights (NEF) released a second championship bout between the two gyms at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” Onoorwonne Rafael “Air Guard” Velado (3-0), Shea’s teammate at First Class MMA, is geskeduleer om gesig Jimmy Jackson (3-2), a teammate of Irwin at Young’s MMA, for the vacant NEF mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) amateur lightweight title. The title was previously held by Josh Harvey (1-0) of Young’s MMA and vacated last April when he moved up to the professional ranks.

 

“Eerste van alles, I appreciate the opportunity that NEF has given me to show my skills in the cage,” Said Velado. “There are other promotions in New England, but nobody puts on a show like NEF. I’ve made it very clear that I am here to fight the toughest guys I can and once again I’m getting my way.”

 

In Velado’s last fight, he took on and defeated Mike Peitersen (3-1). Deur dit te doen, Velado handed him the first loss of his career. Peitersen is another teammate of Jimmy Jackson at Young’s MMA.

 

“Leading up to the Mike Peitersen fight, he and I respectfully challenged each other to train hard and bring it,” Velado continued. “I believe that we did that and then some. Now I have another Young’s fighter in front of me and I couldn’t be happier. Jimmy Jackson has been looking good in his last few outings and I believe we are a good match-up. I see a trend of BJJ players who come over into MMA and think they are just going to jits their way through every fight. I can assure you that I am not that guy and you will see a constant evolution of skills in my fights.”

 

Jackson will have the opportunity to gain a measure of revenge for his team against Velado. After starting his amateur career at 1-2, Jackson has won his last two in a row, including a submission victory over Kris Welch (0-1) by “NEF 16” verlede jaar.

 

“Fighting Raf is a huge opportunity for me – an opportunity I am very grateful for,” said Jackson when reached for comment. “This is the time for me to show how far I’ve come and how much time and work Chris Young (Young’s MMA head coach) and the rest of the coaching staff and team have put into making me the best version of myself. Ek doen dit vir hulle, my team and my family.”

 

“I am pumped to be fighting alongside my First Class MMA brothers and sisters in September and I will be so proud to hand that 155 NEF Championship belt to John Raio (First Class MMA head coach) and tell him, ‘There’s more where that came from,'” said Velado in closing. “As far as ‘Heroes & Villains,’ I believe every man or woman who steps in that cage is a hero, but you have to have a little villain inside you to do what’s necessary to win.”

 

volgende byeenkoms New England veg ', "NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS,” takes place on Saturday, September 10, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. Tickets start at just $25 en is nou te koop by www.TheColisee.com of deur die Colisée loket by 207.783.2009 x 525. Tickets will also be available at the door the night of the event.

NEF XVI herhaling: KING behou; WOOD onttroon; Young se MMA GOES 8-1

Skryf 'n opmerking

Tyler King after retaining the Heavyweight Title on Saturday night

Lewiston, Maine (Februarie 9, 2015) -Nuwe Engeland Fights’ (NEF) nuutste gemengde martial arts- (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis "NEF XVI,"Plaasgevind het Saterdag aand by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. With temperatures dropping to below zero, en die bedreiging van 'n storm dreig oor die gebied, meer as 2,500 fight fans braved the elements to pack the state’s most venerable fight venue. The crowd was treated to a total of 24 aksiebelaaide gevegte, insluitend vier professionele Bouts, waarvan twee was vir NEF MMA titel gordels.

 

Die belangrikste gebeurtenis van die aand gesien het Anthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (17-9) ontsetel Ray “Alle Besigheid” Wood (5-1) to become the new NEF MMA Featherweight Champion. The loss spoiled what was expected to be a triumphant return home for Wood. The native of Bucksport, Maine het na Suid-Carolina verhuis in 2014 sy doel van die kompetisie in die Ultimate Fighting Championship na te streef (UFC). Morrison was considered Wood’s toughest challenge to date, nadat hy deelgeneem aan die nasionale stadium in Bellator en World Extreme Cage Fighting (WEC). Steeds, Wood is erken as die gunsteling gaan in die geveg Saterdag nag. Morrison was dominant for most of the fight, uit-stoei Wood voor die indiening van hom met 'n guillotine verstik in die vyfde ronde van die band te vang.

 

The loss was also the sole blemish on what was otherwise a perfect night for Young’s MMA. Die Bangor, Maine-gebaseerde span het hul vorige agt aanvalle in die loop van die aand gewen, an amazing feat considering that the Young’s corners were often running back and forth from the cage to the locker room to prepare their fighters for bouts that were mere moments apart from each other. Of particular note, die opening stryd van die kaart te sien Josh Harvey (3-1) van Young se skeur deur top-tien-posisie amateur veergewigtitel Kaleb Hall (5-2) met 'n tegniese uitklophou (WIE) victory a mere 36-seconds into the first round. Later, Young se nuutste lid van die span, Carl Langston (4-7), het sy eerste oorwinning ooit op Maine grond met 'n besluit oor Sheldon Bang (1-2) in 'n herontmoeting van 'n bout Langston op verloor het “NEF XIII” verlede jaar.

 

Marcus Davis se span Ierse het 2-0 op die aand met Ricky Dexter(2-0) pluk aan die tweede oorwinning van sy loopbaan en amateur Rick Matthews (1-1) getting his first victory. 44-year old Matthews won a decision over Emmett Huber (0-1) terwyl Dexter behaal 'n groot uitklophou op Cory verhoor (0-1) in die tweede ronde, stuur verhoor na 'n nabygeleë hospitaal in die proses.

 

Hoogtepunt-reel uitklophoue was par vir die kursus by “NEF XVI.” Among them, UFC, Bellator en Strikeforce veteraan Nah-Shon “Die Rock-n-Rolla” Burrell (11-5) reeds bebloede Ryan Hodge(6-10) before knocking him out in the first round of their professional middleweight contest. The most-talked-about knockout of the evening, egter, na Kaleb Farrington (2-0) Span New England Verenigde (NUWE) wat val Brandon “Die Enigma” Russell (0-1) with a single right hand just 8-seconds into the first round. The knockout broke the all-time record of 11-seconds previously set by Buck “Kneukels” Pineau (7-4) in April 2012.

 

Meer geskiedenis gemaak by “NEF XVI” wanneer 'n pa en nie een, but two of his sons competed on the same MMA card. Following losses by his sons, Sheldon en Steve Bang (3-3), Dr. Steve Bang(1-0), 'n lid van Sentraal Maine Brasiliaanse Jiu Jitsu- (CMBJJ), entered the NEF MMA cage to a loud ovation from the crowd. The bariatric surgeon wasted little time in going to work on his opponent, Matthew Hanning (0-1), neem hom af en dreun 'n oorwinning via skeidsregter-oponthoud.

 

NFL en UFC Die uiteindelike Fighter veteraan Tyler King (8-2) in die mede-hoofren van die nag suksesvol verdedig die NEF MMA swaargewigtitel, verslaan Terry “Die Polar Bear” Blackburn (5-3). King stormed into the arena with a determined fire in his eyes. Mid-way through the first round, King het Blackburn af na die mat en gewerk om 'n Kimura voorlegging, forcing Blackburn to tap-out. During his post-fight victory interview in the cage, Koning het 'n keur van die swaargewigte en lig-swaargewigte insluitend plaaslike name soos Eric Bedard (6-5), sowel as nasionale sterre soos Bellator se Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal (14-4).

 

Twee aanvalle aangekondig vir NEF se volgende MMA geval, “NEF Sewentien,” geskeduleer vir April 11, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. NEF MMA liggewig-kampioen Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington(10-7) gekonfronteer-off in die hok met Jamie Harrison (5-1) for an interview. Boyington will defend his title at “NEF Sewentien” against number-one-contender Harrison in the main event. Jarod “Last Minute” Lawton (4-1) en Bellator veteraan Dennis Olson (12-7) were also brought into the cage for an interview.

Now he’s 13 en gereed om sy eie stryd loopbaan te begin, en ek het net 'n ander seun. I knew it was time to build my boys a place where they can train whenever they want to. This is a fight family.”

 

Parker lei sy eerste protégé, Alex Johnson (1-1), in the fall of 2014. Johnson is coming off a win over Rick Matthews (0-1) in 'n wrede, back-en-weer slugfest by “NEF XV” die afgelope November. The bout was considered by many to be the “Stryd van die nag” van die kaart.

“Ons styl is eenvoudig, ons graag op te staan ​​en bang,” Parker elaborated. “Wanneer ons Spar, ons graag om te sien wie kan die swaarste getref. Mike Tyson said it best ‘everybody’s got a plan- totdat hulle kry treffer.’ We want to give the fans exciting fights. We’re looking for knockouts.

 

“Die ouens by Hartelose kom uit alle vlakke van die lewe- of dit straat veg of hok te veg hulle almal het met ervaring gooi vuiste. They each approached me after hearing I was building a gym. Ons waardes is eenvoudig- wanneer jy kom in jou ego laat by die deur. When you’re a part of the Ruthless team, jy verwag om jouself te voer as 'n professionele- sportmangees en respek is 'n moet.”

 

Bryant ORICK (3-5) is another Ruthless team member scheduled to make his NEF MMA debut this Saturday night. It will not, egter, be his first time in the cage. Orick, 'n boorling van Ohio leef nou in Clinton, Maine, has competed in the sport for five years. He is a veteran of eight bouts, veg in die Buckeye State, Kansas en Indiana, to name a few states.

” Om 'n afrigter het my geleer om dit te vertraag en bring dit terug na die basiese beginsels,” Parker het gesê. “Veg regtig is eenvoudig, klop die ander man uit en jy wen. I demand 100% uit my vegters, en Ek gee hulle 100% terug. Fighting is not a hobby, dit is 'n leefstyl.”

Skryf 'n opmerking

The event is scheduled to originate from the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. The show will mark the three-year anniversary of the company’s inception. NEF executives announced today that they were expecting one of the largest crowds ever for the wildly-popular fight promotion’s event.

 

“Ons Februarie gebeure het altyd ons vlagskip,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en promotor Nick DiSalvo. “Tesame met die feit dat hierdie kaart is gelaai met UFC, Bellator, NFL veterane, twee titel gevegte, en die terugkeer van Ray Wood (5-0), dit is geen verrassing dat kaartjieverkope is aan die gang om die manier waarop hulle het al baie.”

 

Inderdaad, ticket sales have been at an all-time high for this event. It is not unusual for the fight promotion to sell out their floor seats for any given show. The sell-out, egter, has always come on fight night. The floor seats for “NEF XVI” verkoop 'n volledige 17 days prior to the event. NEF executives give partial credit for the quick sales to the addition of complimentary waitress drink service for all cage-side ticketholders. They did not confirm whether or not the promotion was considering adding more floor seats for the event.

 

As DiSalvo aangedui, ondersteuners is clamoring vir die terugkeer van Ray “Alle Besigheid” Wood, wat die NEF MMA veergewigtitel sal verdedig teen Bellator en World Extreme Cage Fighting (WEC) veteraanAnthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (16-9). This will be Wood’s first homecoming after moving from Maine to South Carolina in late-2014.

 

“Ek is opgewonde vir hierdie stryd,” said Wood when reached for comment. “Ek het absoluut niks om te verloor. Anthony Morrison has fought some of the best fighters in the world and I have an opportunity to make a statement with this fight. I improve my skills each time I step in the cage and I know that this showing will be no exception. I have respect for Anthony and where he’s been in this sport and I am honored to have the opportunity to fight him.”

 

Wood se spanmaat by Young se MMA, Fred Lear (2-0), sal verskyn op die amateur gedeelte van die kaart in 'n catchweight bout teen Bryant Orrick (3-5) from Ruthless MMA and Boxing. The fight will be contested at 140-pounds.

 

“Hierdie mense stoot my 'n beter vegter te wees, student, en persoon,” gesê Lear van sy spanmaats en afrigters by Young se MMA in Bangor, Maine. “Ek is dankbaar vir hul teenwoordigheid in my lewe, dit is iets wat ek vir ewig sal koester. Ek voel geëerd om te veg vir Young se MMA.”

Soek nie buite sy eie stryd, Lear wys drie opwindende matchups sy spanmaats Josh Harvey (2-1), Mike Pietersen (1-0) en Aaron Lacey (4-1) sal betwis teen lede van die Choi Instituut van Portland, Maine.

 

“Wat gelei het tot 'NEF XVI,’ Ek kan nie help nie, maar beklemtoon ons matchups met Choi se,” Lear voortgegaan. “Nick Spencer [Lacey se teenstander (7-4)] is gevaarlik oral, Henry Clark [Pietersen se teenstander (1-0)] kom af van 'n indrukwekkende debuut, en ek het bekend Kaleb[Hall – Harvey se teenstander (5-1)] sedert hoërskool en daar is geen twyfel oor sy durf en talent. Die atmosfeer by die Colisee sal opwindende wees as ses hoë-kaliber vegters kyk hul punt te verlaat.”

 

Hall en Harvey gestel om die show te open met 'n veergewig bout by 7:00 pm sharp. Hall has competed on six previous NEF MMA events, en hy het beslis opgelet 'n verhoogde opgewondenheid van die ondersteuners wat lei na “NEF XVI.”

 

“Die afwagting is op 'n alle tye hoog as gevolg van al die goeie wedstryd ups op die kaart,” noted Hall. “Op 7 Februarie, Ek verwag dit die mees opwindende nag te wees nie.”

 

Na geveg vir kleiner bevorderings in die verlede, Harvey is clear that the size of the crowd does not matter to him. He will bring his A-game to the cage whether the fight be under the big lights in a world-famous arena like the Androscoggin Bank Colisee or held in a tiny, swak beligte kamer met 'n paar stoele opgestel om 'n hok.

 

“Personally it doesn’t matter who or how many people are watching,” stated Harvey. “Ek gaan op 'n show of daar te sit 20 people or 20,000. I love to entertain. After Caleb hooks on to me he’ll know he’s been in a fight.”

 

Jason Lachance (0-1) van MMA Athletix in Bath, Maine is geskeduleer om te voldoen aan Steven Bang (3-2) Sentraal Maine Brasiliaanse Jiu Jitsu-in Auburn, Maine by “NEF XVI.” Lachance credits the level of talent on the NEF roster with bringing in large crowds like the crowd expected on Februarie 7.

 

“NEF het 'n baie talent op hierdie nag van gevegte, soos hulle altyd doen,” gesê Lachance. “Ek verwag niks minder as 'n opwindende aand vir die ondersteuners. The support from our fans means everything, en my mede-vegters en ek kom gereed om af te gooi en stuur almal huis met nog meer afwagting vir die volgende byeenkoms. God has blessed us with another opportunity to do what we love to do in front of so many.”

 

Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (1-1) sal ook sien aksie by “NEF XVI” toe hy stappe in die hok te staan ​​debut onafhanklike vegterBrandon Lessard (0-0) in 'n swaargewig bout. Leahy got the first win of his MMA career this past September at “NEF XIV” before some 2,000-plus fans at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. As sodanig, Hy is bekend met die gevoel wat kom van die uitvoering van 'n massiewe, Aangevuur stryd skare.
